ECHO's New York Conference Reader

Welcome!

A fine example of creativity
on the Net, or yet another Web vanity site? You be the judge! We
feature stories and such from members of Echo's New York Conference,
where Echoids go to discuss the things that make our hometown:

the greatest city in the world
hell on earth
home to TV's Tony Randall
all of the above

"What the heck is Echo?" Echo, a.k.a. "East Coast Hang-Out,"
is an Internet
service provider and thriving virtual community with an attitude that owes
much to its location in New York City. A note on bylines: on Echo, some
of us use self-chosen nicknames, or "handles." They represent who we are
as Echoids, and they're used throughout this siter.

The New York Conference hosts are Twang, an Upper-Upper West Sider, and
TriBeCa resident James Sanders.

democracy in action?
